Parents

This will be a busy week! Listed below are a few things to ensure the week goes smoothly.
• Please make sure that your daughters have something to eat before arriving on Thursday and Friday. They will be working hard and will need energy to spare. A complete meal is not necessary, as your busy schedules may not allow, but please make sure that they have a nutritious snack such as peanut butter and crackers before arriving. The girls will be on stage with the bright lights for quite some time and are welcome to bring bottled water to drink.
• All tuition needs to be paid by December 16 in order to take part in the concert. If you have not paid and need to work out payments, please call the choir office.
• Only those who have a specific responsibility connected with the concert or an individual choir will be admitted during dress rehearsal on Thursday evening. Your child will be admitted at the door and turned over to her chaperone.

Cookie Dough

Cecilia has some extra cookie dough available priced at $12-$14. Please see her if you wish to purchase more.

Also, those who did not pick up their cookie dough on Thursday, December 9 will need to pick it up today at rehearsal. For any cookie dough not picked up today arrangements will need to be made to pick it up at Cecilia's house.
